More cramps 4dp5dt

Well I'm not completely sure what's happening but currently having more cramps, like period pains . Started using an extra cyclogest pessary yesterday, and have started using them vaginally now instead of rectally. Could this be the cause? I'm trying to stay positive, but also want to be practical x x

Hun, I still have cramps too and I’m on day 5 post transfer. Honestly, I think it’s defo the progesterone doing it to us. I find they get worse at night when I’m in bed.

Time is going so slow though isn’t it. This 2ww really is a killer 😫

Yes I think this 2ww is going to drag. Hopefully these cramps are a good sign. Can I ask, do you put your pessaries in the front or back? I know they can make a mess vaginally, I wonder how much has then actually absorbed x

I’m using crinone vaginal progesterone gel, twice a day. One in the morning and one in the evening. I’m not finding it too bad to use at all. Maybe mention it to your clinic if your having difficulty with what your using xx

Those pessaries are awful in terms of side effects, I felt so unwell on them that it was difficult to decipher what I was actually feeling and how the pessaries were making me feel. Try to stay positive as you are still in until testing day! The 2WW is horrible but you will get there xx

Cyclogest is evil! It’s very possible that the extra dose will cause constipation cramping - maybe try to dose up on water and fibre-rich foods. It’s also bang on the right time for implantation cramping, so could be a very positive sign that your little embryo is making a home 😊

Keeping everything crossed for you xx

Hey, just wanted to wish you the very best of luck xx
